Millenium Still Series Cymbal Set 5-stars Reviews

Brilliant value

These low noise cymbals might not sound as good as the big brands but do you need amazing sounding low noise cymbals? My son has been using these for these for around 3 years, combined with mesh drum heads he practices everyday in our terrace house with no complaints from the neighbours. They work perfectly as an analog for where his “loud” cymbals will be. Having these has improved his drumming immensely.

Wow! Impressed! perfect for drum lessons and practice.

I bought this set to use teaching drum lessons. And I'm impressed - for this price range - wow! I was skeptical, thought it would sound like aluminium pot lids.. but they do not sound bad at all! The ride is extremely quiet, yes, but overall - for practice and drum lessons - absolutely must-have! Feels and behaves like a normal cymbal the students develop a correct techique, just.. quieter!

Drum roll

Nice sound but I prefer the golden ones..with the golden and silver crashes together I have all the sounds and combinations I want...

For Low Volume, these are great for practice.

For the array of low volume cymbals coming out, you really don't need to spend a lot on them to get a decent set.

These are ideal for what you need them for without having to spend more than you need to.

Great for practicing

They're great to understand the feel and learn how to play your cymbals right. I've been playing on an e-kit all my life and having real cymbals to practice on is really good. Also the sound volume is greatly reduced compared to real cymbals ( the hihat is kinda loud though but its still moderately quiet). These are not for recording obviously but will be of great help to any drummer that lives in an apartment or a great upgrade to a drummer that uses e-drums.

Gorgeous to play, even nicer to look at!

As I have been practicing mainly on the higher-end and much higher priced Zildjian silent cymbals in my classes, I was pleasantly surprised with these. Yes, there is of course a difference in sound quality, but not major or anything that would flaw them as a whole. Quite a striking addition (pun intended) to a second hand kit, both in appearance and functionality. No complaints from the overly sensitive neighbours either so far. Would recommend these.

So far really good

Does what it must! It's a perfect set to reduce the noise. Also, it doesn't sound horrible, a bit sharp, but what you want from it you get. When you have band practice and use these the rest of them will thank you for not exploding their eardrum. Good durable material.

Very good

Do not buy the known ones. These are such a great value for the price! I have the set for almost two years now and they still sound great! I travel them every week to the rehearsel room and play them every day. Only the logo is faded, but the cymbals itselfs are very much not. seriously.. buy these.

Great for small rooms

We have a band room around 4 by 5 meters. It's better to keep instruments more quiet in such a small space for better readability of any single instrument. These cymbals help a lot in this case. They are impossible to play loud.

Pros:

- they are quiet (like really-really quiet). I can smash the crashes with my full power and they still will be quieter than toms/snare drum

- they are cheap. I put them on the drumkit and I don't care if bass player or guitarist plays them

- they are light! easy to carry around

- look a bit like cheese, if you like cheese like me, that's a bonus

Cons:

- the edges of the holes are not very neat. I actually cut my skin on an index finger by simple carrying ride cymbal with it (using it kind of like a stand). That's usually not a problem with normal cymbals

- the sound is more on a hissing side, hi-hat sounds especially nasty when open. In my opinion, they are not good for recording or any kind of live situation (at least for music I am playing). Might be good only if loudness is an issue, but you might also just take lighter sticks/play quieter and not sacrifice sound quality of normal concert cymbal set.

Overall, good inside a small room. Not good for recordings or concerts.

Great quality at the price

I use these for practise with my band. When I got them I thought they felt light and possibly a bit flimsy, so made a mental note to be gentle on them (I can be a heavy hitter). I had no need to. They're far stronger than I expected and are still looking great after 6 months of 3+times a week practise for 4hrs minimum.

The sound of them in isolation seems very thin and I found myself wondering if they would cut through a band, but they do without the ear-piercing to go with it but for anything more than an acoustic/gentle jazz they would certainly get lost on stage.

We did make some scratch recordings for reference and somehow they came through the mic's (recorderman and kick) with great balance against regular acoustic shells and snare.

It would be great to see some fx cymbals for the 'All options' feel, however for what I use them for I'm more than happy and will probably buy a 2nd set for home use when funds allow.

One of the best purchases I've made, great product!!

So glad I finally bought these! After a couple of months of having these in my basket the coronavirus lockdown boredom pushed me to finally make the purchase.

So impressed. Firstly they look great, I know it's not really about that but the silver finish looks amazing.

I'm so surprised by the sound quality, they're excellent, they feel and sound like real cymbals... but at a volume I can talk/sing over easily.

I plan to use these for practice but after playing them I think they'll work well for home demo recordings as well. Admittedly I've never tried any other brands but at this price and sounding this good, I'm happy and won't be looking to upgrade any time soon.

One of the best musical instrument type purchases I've ever made. Great value, great sound.

Great for the price.

Great set for the price, a lot less noise than normal, ideal for home playing and getting the feel of normal cymbals.

Excellent for practice

In my opinion the Millenium Still series cymbal are excellent for players who may not have to opportunity to make a lot of noise. These great sounding cymbals are a cheap way to lower to volume of your home studio drastically. I was planning on purchasing the Zildjian L80s for a long time however upon reassuring myself that i was making to right decision, I can across the Still series. The first thing i noticed was that the Stills were €50 less expensive and included an extra crash. As a person who uses many crash cymbals this drew me in right away. After reading numerous reviews about the cymbals I decided that they were the way forward and i am very happy to have purchased them. They are great for use in apartments or other areas with many neighbours in close proximity. Can even be used in some small, quiet gigs, especially the hats have a nice tone. Thin, Light cymbals. Not for recording. Great for practice. Very quiet. WOULD DEFINETELY RECOMMEND!!!

Perfect for home practice!

These cymbals are the next best thing if you want to practice realistically at home but can't make to much noise.

They just feel like real cymbals because they are! They're just really quiet. You can easily talk over their sound.

I have them on my drumset in the living room of my appartement. I can practice while my girlfriend is watching tv without any issue.

They actually have a little bit of tone in them. This is good when you play with dynamics. The bell of the ride also sounds pretty good. The hihat has a nice wash and a nice 'chick' when closing with your foot.

Excellent item.

I have a small studio attatched to my house so volume is a real issue for me. These low volume cymbals sound great and are quiet enough to use in my studio with out having to worry about the neighbours. They have brought a whole new dimension to my practice routine and I love them , and so does the wife.

Very good

Big and cheap set. Practice work horse. I don't care about sound, I care about volume and Millenium set works great on that front. I have much pricier set Zildjian Gen 16 and Millenium set is still OK for me. I can beat them without thinking about price. With Gen 16 I don't have this level of comfort.

Great for practice

I bought them for practicing with an electronic kit. They feel much better than rubber cymbals and are reasonably quiet.

One thing I do not like about them is the sound, they are too high pitched for my liking, I prefer deeper sounds. Though I found out that placing some sponge clothes on top and hitting through them makes the sound quite nice. If anyone could come up with low volume cymbal providing deeper sound I would be instantly sold.

Overall they are exactly what you would expect from thin practice cymbals, not too loud with high pitched annoying sound xD.

Quiet Practice with no Loss of Feel

Coupled with the Rtom range of pads, this is a way to reduce the volume of a kit by around 80% with minimal loss of feel. These also offer very good value when compared to the equivalent Zyldjian range.

Great cymbals for practising

I got these cymbals to use with electronic drums just for playing at home. They make playing on drums actually feasible now. They really are so much quieter, even with hard hitting.

Another big plus is the price, they are significantly cheaper than Zildjian's but basically the same. It's so useful to have full size cymbals too.

One small downside is they arrived with some grease so I had to give them a good clean before using.

If you're just using at home I'd highly recommend this set.
